Pouncey has played guard for the Gators the past two seasons, earning All-SEC honors last year. He is moving to center in 2010 to fill the hole left when his twin brother, Maurkice Pouncey, left Florida for the NFL after winning the 2009 Rimington Trophy.

Even though four SEC centers are on the watch list, that's not the most from one conference -- the ACC has six -- and one SEC center who's on the watch list for another national award isn't on the Rimington list. Auburn's Ryan Pugh is on the watch list for the Lombardi Award, given to the nation's best interior lineman, but not on the list for the honor that goes specifically to centers.

In addition to Maurkice Pouncey, SEC winners of the Rimington Trophy have been LSU's Ben Wilkerson in 2004 and Arkansas' Jonathan Luigs in 2007.
